Essays on Ghanaian Philosophy
E. A. Ammah Essay1 Ghanaian Thought and Philosophy
Introduction
E. A. Ammah, “Ghanaian Philosophy,” The Ghanaian (October
1961, November 1961, December 1961, January 1962, February 1962,
March 1962, April/May 1962, June 1962)
NOTE: Beginning in the October 1961 issue of The Ghanaian and
continuing in monthly installments through June 1962, E. A.
Ammah published a lengthy essay, “Ghanaian Philosophy.” The
essay is remarkable not only for its analysis of Ghanaian
thought but for its comparative discussion of other religious
traditions throughout the world. Although E. A. Ammah titles his
essay “Ghanaian Philosophy,” his exposition is an exploration of
Ga philosophy as revealed primarily in kpele hymns. He
identifies and discusses three Ga schools of thought: (1) God’s
School of Thought, (2) the Son of God (Awi Tete) or the Wisdom
School, and (3) the Sceptic School of Thought. In comparing Ga
thought with other traditions, E. A. Ammah draws upon a variety
of sources including The Bible, articles in The Hibbert Journal
(a liberal Christian periodical published in Britain 1902-1968),
notable scholarly monographs of the 1920s and 1930s, various
encyclopedias, as well as Islamic, Indian, and Buddhist
teachings. Marion Kilson

Leave Africa alone
Commentary, March 04, Ghanadot - Outrage about
homosexuality is not the issue here. The rush to
normalize a behavior that is foreign to the culture is.
It took years for the West to accept gays. This time,
the priority should be for Africans to decide when to
accept the gay lifestyle without pressure from the
West. ...
